then this may very well result in an injury, or worse. So when you take a car journey, you make sureyou're prepared. You do what you need to do to ensure that you're confident your car is fit to handlethe journey. You do everything you can to minimize the risks associated with being on the road. Thenyou relax, enjoy the journey and gain the benefit of getting from "A" to "B".Sun-lovers the world over feel that sunshine tanning (indoors in a sun bed or outside in the sun) ismuch the same. Once you satisfy yourself that the tanning equipment is appropriate for your needsand prepare your skin with good quality antioxidant-rich pre-tan accelerator lotion, you can monitoryour sessions, avoid sunburn by keeping to a sensible plan, and moderate your UV exposure. Then,you can enjoy all the wonderful benefits that moderate UV (sunlight) exposure brings, while stayingaware of the risks involved, and alert to your own unique situation.All human activity involves risk. Please tan responsibly.A Note On Sunbed Equipment: Sunbed lamps and equipment vary. Newer, modern sun bedequipment will usually be fitted with a newer style of lamp- which may emit a spectrum of UV lightmore gentle even than sunlight.Charts found on the JCTA (Joint Canadian Tanning Association): www.tanresponsibly.ca shows howthe WHO position of non-tolerance to sun bed tanning has been developed in error. The statisticalincrease in risk- when analyzed properly- applies not to commercial tanning salons but to hometanning units and dermatological UV chambers. (Ironically, our detractors don't seem to realize thatthe more pressure they put on the industry, the more they force it underground and into peoples'homes where their exposure cannot be monitored or controlled.)Tanning SENSIBLY? Is there such a thing?As outlined above in our point "Are Sun beds Safe?" it is irresponsible for anyone to use the term'safe' in connection with UV exposure. But if you are a sun-lover, if you desire a tan for cosmeticpurposes or for any other reason or, if for some reason you need to live your life in a UV-light-richenvironment, then JAVA Tanning Studio & Contempo Spa, along with numerous other organizations,believe it can be done sensibly.Smart, sensible tanning is about being informed on the risks & benefits of sun exposure, and makingdecisions based on that information as it relates to you personally. You must know your skin typeand follow an appropriate tanning exposure schedule designed for you in order to develop a tangradually and avoid sunburn. Skin type 1's should not use sun beds at all.Be aware over-exposure to UV light can lead to skin dryness, wrinkling and aging of the skin andsunburn, and should be avoided. Use indoor tanning lotions to counteract the drying effects of UVlight. Understand there may be a relationship between over-exposure to UV light and skin cancers,particularly if you have a family history of skin cancer, a low skin type, more than 50 moles on yourbody and/or other correlated factors such as occupational exposure to chemicals, smoking and highfatdiets. Protect your lips with lip balms or sunscreens, as lips do not produce protective melaninpigment and can burn easily. Be aware that certain medicines and perfumes can cause photosensitivity.If you are concerned about anything relating to sun bed tanning, you should consult yourdoctor prior to using sun bed equipment.Always remember that MODERATION is the key to sensible enjoyment of tanning and the sun.
What Does Light Do For Me?Experts believe that exposure to light can treat the condition S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disordersyndrome, or the 'winter blues'). People may suffer from this syndrome in the winter months, and inthe worst cases doctors prescribe expensive, hospital-based UV light treatments. Some doctorsrecommend their patients use a sun bed to informally treat themselves for this reason- because a fewcontrolled sessions in a sun bed can be just as effective but at a fraction of the price. There are alsomany different styles of 'light boxes' or light-emitting units available that people use when theirlocation or lifestyle prevents them from having access to much natural light. Dermatologists also uselight to treat various non-life-threatening skin disorders like psoriasis and eczema.Exposure to light is responsible for keeping our circadian rhythms in check- through the action of thehormone melatonin- produced by the pineal gland. This can be helpful in reducing the effects of jetlag. We know the sun energizes and relaxes us- why else do people cheer up and calm down whenthe sun comes out? UV light exposure resulting in a natural cosmetic tan also increases our selfconfidenceand gives a general sense of well-being.Broad-spectrum chemical sunscreens may prevent many of these beneficial effects of light exposurefrom occurring through the inhibition of the absorption of UV light. It is important to note that thesun can be fierce and people can sunburn rapidly in this part of the world. JAVA Tanning Studio &Contempo Spa advocates developing a healthy respect for light, understanding that moderation isthe key to balancing the benefits and risks. We advocate moderate exposure for those who candevelop a tan, and sunburn avoidance for all.Protect yourself and your family from sunburn, and don't over-expose your skin to the sun. Haveannual skin checks if you are a pale skin type or have a family history of skin cancer. It is virtuallyimpossible to live a life without exposure to the sun, and in fact without any such exposureeverything on the planet, including us, would be soon dead.Over-exposure to UVR is a correlated risk factor for melanoma skin cancer. Everyone should beaware of the amount of sun exposure they receive and ensure their skin never burns. Those at higherrisk include skin type 1 persons, those with a family history of the disease and a genetic inability totan. Remember sun bed tanning should not be attempted by persons with skin type 1. Currently,expert opinion is divided on necessary vitamin D levels for health. If you are unsure about yours,consult your doctor.What's All This I Hear About Vitamin D?Vitamin D is actually a hormone which is produced by the body in response to exposure to UVB light.It is difficult to get sufficient levels of vitamin D through diet alone.Until recently it was recommended people should get 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day, which is aboutequivalent to the units made during an average indoor tanning session. A glass of milk, on the other hand,delivers about 100 IU. The issue of daily recommended dosage of vitamin D is currently under debate; withmost pro-vitamin D health professionals now upgrading the RDI to 2,000 IU per day.
